Converting from Guyana Dollar (GYD) to Haiti Gourde (HTG)

What is Guyana Dollar (GYD)

The Guyana Dollar (GYD) is the official currency of Guyana, a country on the northern coast of South America. It is abbreviated as GYD and is subdivided into 100 cents. The currency symbol is often written as "G＄" to avoid confusion with other dollar-denominated currencies. The Guyana Dollar was introduced in 1839, replacing the British Guiana dollar at a rate of 1:1. Over the years, the GYD has experienced fluctuations in value, influenced by various economic factors like inflation, government policies, and changes in the global market.

The Central Bank of Guyana is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency. The bank implements monetary policy to stabilize the economy and control inflation. The GYD is commonly used in daily transactions throughout Guyana, and banknotes are available in multiple denominations, including 20, 50, 100, 500, 1,000, and 5,000 GYD. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, and 100 cents, as well as 1 and 5 GYD.
